Ace and Five: SACANIMEEEEEEE

HELLO.
I AM REALLY HAPPY RIGHT NOW.
HSJKFHSDJGFDHSJGFSDHGDS


School starts in 2 days. :(
Oh yeah, I also didn't really post Fun Friday this week because I was really busy.

Okay.
So, this weekend, as you may know, I went to SacAnime with Kess and Sushi and Kess's neighbor who is awesome. Yeah.

I went in a really horrible Winry (from FMA) cosplay that I bet no one recognized. Seriously, it was horrible.
Heh heh.

Kess went as Touka from Tokyo Ghoul (which I've almost finished the manga now). She had the wig and a hoodie kinda similar to Touka's and also Touka's pants and boots, so she was recognizable enough. She just barely was shipped her wig in time.
Sushi went in an awesome Hanji cosplay. She also had hair extensions that matched Hanji's hair, but she didn't wear them, so she looked like just someone from AOT. She had the whole outfit but after about an hour of frustration with the belts for the maneuver gear she just decided to go without them.

And then, and then, there was Kess's neighbor's cosplay. It was amazing.
She went as Maka from Soul Eater. She had a scythe made out of a metal tube thing and some wood. It was painted just like the real thing, and also was huge, though of course not life-sized. She had bought the wig and outfit online, but the boots would have cost $80 so she just re-used some similar black boots and put white duct tape on them. She couldn't make her outfit like she wanted to because of the such short notice.
Her outfit was so awesome, she got asked for pictures like 40 times.

Okay, so we got there about 3:30 Friday night, spent about an hour and a half in the hotel room getting ready, and spent the rest of the night at the convention. We weren't able to make any panels or event on Friday except the kpop/jpop dance competition. Kess enjoyed it, being the koreaboo she is.

On Saturday, we went to a Tokyo Ghoul panel with people dressed and acting as the characters. This was my favorite panel, and it was hilarious.
A couple hours after that, we went to an Attack on Titan voice actor Q&A. It was packed. It took up about 60% of the main room, and the room was big. The line for it went all the way down the street and round the corner. It took 20 minutes for everyone to get ready and seated. Other than the long wait, it was pretty cool.

Anyways, who goes to an anime convention and doesn't get merch? It was very hard for me not to buy everything. I got a Death Note shinigami figurine in a grab bag, which I split with Kess and Sushi, I got 2 mini posters of Crona (Soul Eater) and Edward (FMA) which are pretty funny. I got a Scouting Legion (AOT) face mask, and, of course, an Alpaca. My alpaca is medium-sized and a lavender-colored sailor. Yeah. He's fluffy.
Kess also got 2 face masks, the same Edward poster as me, and a Luigi (Mario games) plushie from the grab bag.
Sushi got a Hanji (AOT) keychain and a keychain from a random anime which I don't watch.

Everyone who pre-registered (which we did) also got a free SNK MLP crossover mini poster and a Naruto/Death Note/Other Random Anime mini poster.
So, time for my Merch Count!
-Attack on Titan, 6 (Wall Scroll, Mini Poster, Keychain, Wristband, T-shirt, Face mask)
-Death Note, 3 (Mini Poster, Figurine, T-shirt)
-Hetalia, 2 (Wristband, T-shirt)
-Vocaloid, 2 (Poster, T-shirt)
-Fullmetal Alchemist, 2 (Mini Poster, T-shirt)
-Sword Art Online, 1 (T-shirt)
-No Game No Life, 1 (Wall Scroll)
-Soul Eater, 1 (Mini Poster)
-Naruto, 1 (Mini Poster)
-My Little Pony (FIM), 1 (Mini Poster)
-Other, 2 (Alpaca Plush, Wristband)
Total: 20 Merch Items

Yay! Merch!
Also, awesome news, Tigress' friend gave us all of the Sims 3 expansion packs! Awesome! Except we can't really figure out how to make it work quite yet...


So, yeah, that was my day! Merry Monday!

Ace and Four: IT BURNS!

Hiya!~
Wow, I can't believe it's been a month since I started this blog!

Well, this has been great!~

I like these ~ things. They are cool.

Okay, so you might've seen I added Favicons to my posts. They are just that cool.

You may think "but they're so low quality! It burns! IT BURNS!

IT BURNS

*Insert screaming here*

Okay, anyways.

Well, I hope you had a jolly Christmas! I know I did!

Okay, well, before I tell you what I got, let me tell you I have a higher middle class family (which is right below lower upper class if you didn't know), so I get a lot for Christmas in comparison to, say, Kess, who got $100 and a drawing tablet. So, here's a list of what I got for Christmas!

-Hatsune Miku, SNK, and No Game No Life posters

-$50 Pier 1 gift card

-$40

-Mastering Manga 1 and 2 by Mark Crilley

-The Sims 4 (Well, I will be when it comes out for Mac)

-A Snowman Nutcracker (as is tradition)

-A Big Amethyst (My favorite gem!)(From Jaywalker)

-A black beanie that says "Bad Hair, Don't Care" (which is totally me)

-Clay (Which I love)

-And an Amazon $25 gift card

I ended up using the Amazon gift card for my Winry cosplay.

I know Sushi already has her cosplay ready (it's awesome) and Kess is proKESStinating. Heh heh. But, I found a PERFECT vest for her Touka cosplay.

I also went to my Oma and Opa's house. Oma and Opa is German for Grandmother and Grandfather. My dad's mom is 100% German. Anyways, I got a $40 mall gift card which I used to buy Squidmas presents for Sushi and Kess from Hot Topic. Of course, while I was there, I also got myself 2 t-shirts and 2 wristbands. Currently all of the merch I have:

-SNK: 1 t-shirt, 1 poster, 1 wristband, 1 keychain

-Hetalia: 1 t-shirt, 1 wristband

-Vocaloid: 1 t-shirt, 1 poster

-Death Note: 1 t-shirt

-Sword Art Online: 1 t-shirt

-No Game No Life: 1 poster

-Fullmetal Alchemist: 1 t-shirt

Oh yeah! I also started learning German! Kess is too apparently! So, Kess and I are both being study buddies in Japanese and German, and I hope she'll teach me some Mandarin. I started learning German because, like I mentioned before, I am 25% German (My Oma is 100% German). Kess and I also want to learn French, but we probably won't get to it. Actually, there's a German exchange student at Tigress's school, and he knows like 5 languages. He was born in Russia and moved to Germany, so he knows Russian, German, English, Spanish, and something else which I forget. And he's fluent in all of these languages.

Well, I hope you guys enjoyed me bragging about what I got for Christmas! Yes, remember to check out my friends blogs!

The First Fun Friday!~

Hello~!
Welcome to the First Fun Friday, December 26, 2014~

In this first one, we have many awesome things for you, including:
-Weekly Video
-Weekly Song
-Otaku Update
-Cool Youtube Channel
-A Hilarious Blog!

Well, here's an awesome video my piano teacher showed me about a 5-year-old piano prodigy!

Okay, for this week's song, we have an awesome Rin and Len (my favorite Vocaloids) duet that is actually kind of sad.

Otaku Update! So, this is not for actual otaku news (most of the time), rather it's a personal update and opinions relating to anime, manga, light novels, or pretty much anything otaku related.

Well, as I kept hearing about how the Tokyo Ghoul manga is so much better than the anime, and as tumblr was exploding with multiple hair color Kaneki, I decided to go ahead and read the manga. I am currently at chapter 46 and still reading. The manga is way better, I can verify. If you liked/loved the anime (like me), you will LOVE the manga. Trust me.

I also saw, of course on tumblr, about a manga about human-shaped holes that suddenly appeared in a mountain side called The Enigma of Amigara. I read it out of curiosity.
It fished me up, man.
If you don't want to read it, I'll summarize it for you.
***Spoilers***
A earthquake recently happened, and a bunch of human-shaped holes that go on for seemingly infinity appear in a fault line. A guy, out of curiosity, hikes to the spot, like many other people. There he meets a woman and a man, who claim they saw "their holes", holes that took their exact body shape. They are tempted to go in. The man goes in first, and is never seen again. The woman wants but is scared to go into her hole. One night, she goes into her hole, and is never seen again. On the second night of camping, the guy has a dream about an ancient tribe who carved holes for criminals, who were forced to walk in them. Slowly, bit by bit, the holes twisted a pulled the body into unimaginable, distorted figures. He then wakes up, screaming. Later, the other side of the fault is found, with weird holes that could not resemble anything. Though, one guy shouts "look over here!". In the last page, we see a "body" in the hole, distorted into horrible figures.
***End of Spoilers***

The Otaku update is going to be pretty long this time.

In other otaku news, Kess and I are working on a manga based on an old creepypasta (horror story) we wrote together a while ago. You can read the original version here.

Okay, since I am working on a manga, why not have a manga/art based channel, owned by a professional Amerimanga creator, with 2 manga art tip books, 2 book series finished and a new one on the way? This guy is Mark Crilley, an awesome artist and awesome guy.

And, here is a hilarious blog. Just to say, the owner of this blog is the creator of the "Clean All the Things!" meme. Yeah. You can visit her blog here.

Well, that's it for this week's Fun Friday! Thanks for reading!

Ace and Christmas

Hiya!~
Ace here for a Christmas post!
So, first Imma go over some updates, and then we'll talk about *gasp* Christmas

Well, my friend Kess has a blog of her own now. Now I just want you to click the link on my sight and see the differences in our blogs. Very different.
She also has a fan blog, which was her original blog, until I convinced her to not be a complete Koreaboo.
(Haha kidding love ya Kess)

So, in other news, I love eggnog *sips eggnog*.

In other other news, I tried to get a favicon (the little icon that appears next to a page tab's title (like the blogspot B)) but Blogspot is being stupid and won't work.

It even changed colors. The quality is really sucky because it's supposed to be REALLY small.
I might edit it a little more.

So, CHRISTMASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
Well, I've scheduled this to upload on the very first second of Christmas, because it's that GLORIOUS.

I'VE SPENT THE LAST HALF AN HOUR WORKING ON A PONG FAVICON I'M NOT EVEN KIDDING.
HERE IT IS.

Don't judge the slowness.

Okay well now I'm working on a rainbow one. Don't judge.

OKAY IT'S BEEN FOREVER BUT I'M DONE
TAKE IT
260 FRAMES BABY

It's beautiful.

So um well I hope you guys have a good Christmas, I'll probably upload after Christmas too.

Merry Tumblr

Red Ornament

So yeah, I just spent the last day adding Favicons to my posts.

Okay, well now let's talk about Christmas Traditions!

We don't have very many traditions, but there are 2.

The first one is pretty new. Every Christmas Eve we go to The Habit. We started it last year kinda accidentally and this year, without even realizing it, we went again. The Habit is delicious.

The second one has been going on for about 5 years now. Each year, each kid gets their own nutcracker and sometimes we get a family one. How many do we have? 20?

No. We have 33 nutcrackers.

They are all lined up on our huge windowsill (our living room main wall is a window wall).

So yeah, those are our traditions. Also we get to open one present each on Christmas Eve, but I'm not sure if that would be considered a "tradition".

Okay, it's Christmas Eve, and I had to go last-minute Christmas shopping for my brother, who will be referred to as Jaywalker for absolutely no reason at all. His name isn't even Jay. Anyways, I got Jaywalker a Minecraft Cow plushie from Hot Topic. He already has a Creeper and Enderman plushie. While at Hot Topic, of course, I couldn't resist getting an AOT bracelet and AOT keychain.

Last time at Hot Topic I went with Kess and got a Vocaloid shirt (Kess got the same one), an AOT shirt (Kess also got one), a Fullmetal Alchemist shirt, and a Hetalia shirt. Kess also got a My Neighbor Totoro shirt and a Kiki's Delivery Service shirt. All in all, it only cost me about $10 because I had a $35 gift card and the whole store was Buy One Get One Half Off. Kess pretty much just used Kmom's money. Anyways, you get the fact that I love Hot Topic.

So, my sister, who will be referred to as Tigress from now on (she likes tigers?), was there also, and she saw a Fall Out Boy bracelet that she really liked, so I got it for her. I also got her some pretty Blue/Teal/Green earrings and a white simple set or earrings. I think she'll like them.

Kess also hasn't put together her cosplay yet. *Sigh*. You can see that at her blog.

I'm going to post later what I got for Christmas, so see you soon!~
